History

70 years of the tradition of the Polish pharmaceutical industry!

1945HERBARIA cooperative is established to grow and buy herbs and to make herbal medicine products. HERBARIA operates a dedicated herbal plantation in Jeziory Wielkie.

1949HERBARIA overtakes the local herbal cooperative (“Samopomoc Chłopska”) in Poznań. State Agricultural Farms (PGR’s) are established due to the restructuring of Polish agriculture, leading to the aggregation of all arable land in Poland. Consequently, HERBARIA looses the plantation in Jeziory Wielkie and modifies its production profile, creating the Galenic, Syrrups, and Extracts Department. Later the same year, HERBARIA is transformed into Farmaceutyczno-Chemiczna Spółdzielnia Pracy ZIOŁOLEK, a pharmaceutical-and-chemical cooperative.

1951ZIOŁOLEK is expanded by incorporating ALMARIA. Established in 1945 by Henryk Młodecki (M. Pharm., Assistant in the Department of Pharmacognosy of the Poznań University) and Franciszek Lewicki, ALMARIA had its seat in Garbary 78, Poznań.

1952ZIOŁOLEK is further expanded by incorporating Dr Willmar Schwabe Homeopathic-and-Biochemical Laboratory pursuant to a decision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Processing Industry. Established in 1936, Dr Schwabe Laboratory (Laboratorium Homeopatyczno-Biochemicznego dr.Willmara Schwabe) had its seat in Al. Marcinkowskiego 26, Poznań.

1965ZIOŁOLEK is expanded by incorporating “Spółdzielnia im. 22 Lipca” in Poznań along with its production facilities in Fabryczna 31.

1998After a few years of investment efforts, required to adapt itself to new regulations concerning conditions for the manufacture of medicinal products, ZIOŁOLEK is licensed by the Minister of Health and Welfare to manufacture pharmaceutical or medicinal materials, required for the non-sterile production of solid, fluid and semi-fluid forms.

2000The limited liability company, named Przedsiębiorstwo Farmaceutyczne ZIOŁOLEK Sp. z o. o., is established based on the property and resolve of the members of Spółdzielnia Pracy ZIOŁOLEK.
